Step 1. Duelist Kaien in Oren

Teleport to the Town of Oren and enter the Warriors' Guild: Duelist Kaien gives the quest from level 39 to Warriors, Elven Knights, Palus Knights and Orc Monks. Click "Ask about the Mark of the Duelist.", "Ask about the Trial of the Duelist." and "Accept the challenge." (orcs see "Ask about the Duelist Trial." instead of the second line). Kaien hands you five orders — Order Gludio, Dion, Giran, Oren and Aden — plus, on the first take, 104 Dimensional Diamond for a Palus Knight and 72 for the others.

Step 2. Punchers

The first trial is 10 trophies from each of ten mobs, two in every land of Aden. The trophies drop with a 100% chance (× the quest rate) and only before the Final Order — after it these mobs give nothing. The Gludio land: from Gludio teleport to Windawood Manor and run about 14,900 south into the Wasteland. The level 34 Puncher lv. 34 drops the Puncher's Shard.

Step 3. Noble Ant Leaders

The level 38 Noble Ant Leader lv. 38 lives deep in the Ant Nest under the Wasteland — Gludio has a teleport to the Ant Cave. It drops the Noble Ant's Feeler.

Step 4. Dead Seekers

The Dion land: from Dion run about 31,000 east to the Execution Grounds (many servers also have a direct teleport there). The level 34 Dead Seeker lv. 34 drops the Dead Seeker Fang.

Step 5. Marsh Stakato Drones

From Dion teleport to the Cruma Tower and run about 6,500–10,000 north-northeast into the marshes. The level 35 Marsh Stakato Drone lv. 35 drops the Drone's Chitin.

Step 6. Breka Orc Overlords

The Giran land: from Giran teleport to Breka's Stronghold and run about 8,000 northeast. The level 35 Breka Orc Overlord lv. 35 drops the Overlord Necklace.

Step 7. Fettered Souls

Level 38 Fettered Souls lv. 38 roam the Death Pass, the pass between Giran and Oren. From Oren teleport to the Plains of Lizardmen and run about 15,700 south. They drop the Fettered Soul's Chain.

Step 8. Leto Lizardman Overlords

The Oren land: from the same Plains of Lizardmen teleport run about 9,200 north-northwest. The level 40 Leto Lizardman Overlord lv. 40 drops the Chief's Amulet.

Step 9. Enchanted Monstereyes

From Oren teleport to the Ivory Tower and go down into the crater right by the tower. The level 41 Enchanted Monstereye lv. 41 drops the Enchanted Eye Meat.

Step 10. Tamlin Orcs and archers

The Aden land: from Hunters Village run about 6,000 south-southeast. The level 41 Tamlin Orc lv. 41 drops the Tamrin Orc's Ring.

Level 42 Tamlin Orc Archers lv. 42 roam the same area — they drop the Tamrin Orc's Arrow.

Step 11. Final Order

With 10 of every trophy go back to Kaien. He won't count them — click "Attempt the final trial." and "Ask about your opponent.": he takes the orders and trophies and gives you the Final Order. Now you need 3 trophies from each of five strong mobs — they drop only after the Final Order; in the final trial you may fight in a party.

Step 12. Excuro and Krator in the Cruma Tower

From Dion teleport to the Cruma Tower and enter it. The level 41 Excuro lv. 41 lives on the first floor — Excuro's Skin.

The level 44 Krator lv. 44 is on the second floor, reached by the teleport inside the tower. It drops the Krator's Shard.

Step 13. Grandis

Back to the Death Pass: about 16,000 south of the Plains of Lizardmen teleport. The level 40 Grandis lv. 40 drops the Grandi's Skin.

Step 14. Timak Orc Overlords

To find the level 45 Timak Orc Overlord lv. 45, run about 11,000–16,000 northwest from the Oren Town teleport. It drops the Timak Orc's Belt.

Step 15. Lakins

From Hunters Village run about 7,000–12,000 south-southeast. The level 44 Lakin lv. 44 drops the Lakin's Mace.

Step 16. Mark of Duelist

With 3 of each of the five trophies go back to Kaien in Oren — he gives you the Mark of Duelist, 47,015 XP and 20,000 SP. The other Bladedancer marks are Trial of the Challenger and Testimony of Fate; the full path is in the Bladedancer 2nd class quest guide, the mark is also needed for the Gladiator 2nd class and the Swordsinger 2nd class, and other classes start from the 2nd class quest hub.

How many mobs to kill at your rate

Every trophy drops with a 100% chance, and the quest drop rate multiplies the amount per kill. On some servers quest items drop one at a time at any rate — then use the x1 column.
